NEA 1-hour PM2.5 readings (Singapore)
The official hourly concentration of fine particles (PM2.5, µg/m³) for Singapore's five regions, published by NEA. It is the reading most sports organisers and schools use for same-day decisions.
- Publisher
- National Environment Agency (NEA), Singapore
- What it measures
- PM2.5 concentration in µg/m³ for the North, South, East, West and Central regions, grouped into four bands: Normal 0–55, Elevated 56–150, High 151–250, Very High 251+.
- Update frequency
- Hourly. The reading for an hour is typically published within the following hour.
- Coverage
- Singapore only (five regions).
- How we use it
- Haze Guide uses it as the headline figure for Singapore pages, picks the NEA region closest to a visitor's location, and shows the past 24 hours from the same API.
- Limitations
- Regional values are not street-level. Region boundaries are approximated from NEA's label locations. A reading describes the past hour, not the next one.
- Terms
- Published under the Singapore Open Data Licence; attribute NEA / data.gov.sg.
